    Can somebody explain to me a thing about anti-feminism: as a 99.5% cishet standard regular manly man man, even from an extremely cold, selfish, objective, all-for-me approach I cannot understand what I stand to gain by this. What’s the point?

      The complaints that I’ve heard (from previous co-workers) are that feminism was fine until sometime around the late 2000’s, but around that time it morphed into something that was anti-men.

      For the most part, there’s a lot of sour grapes perspectives - a lot of my previous co-workers are anywhere from centrist to conservative. I’ve heard the selective service registration mentioned in the past, and to an extent I agree with complaint perspective on the selective service thing, but that’s about it.

      The weaker and more dependent from a man a woman is, the less likely she will have her own opinions, desires or plans, and less likely she will be to leave the insecure men who want this.

      Nothing. The only people that gain anything from strict gender roles are the rich, and they use them to create disparities and depress wages.

        Yep - It really is divide and conquer by the rich. Look at ‘the culture wars’, they will stoke anything to high hell if it gets poor people to stupidly discriminate and fight each other.
